In 2016 the Government asked the Department of Conservation to facilitate the overall Predator Free 2050 programme and to develop a strategic direction.
Knowledge from iwi, hapū, conservation experts, and people involved in the Predator Free movement formed the basis of the strategy.
The Predator Free 2050 Strategy was launched in March 2020. The strategy aims to mobilise, innovate and accelerate progress towards a predator free New Zealand by 2050.
Every two years, we also provide an update on how we're making progress towards the goal by measuring our work against interim goals.
